Zaman al-Wasl obtained a video documenting the practices of the former Assad regime. Detainees are transported between security branches in a deliberately humiliating manner: blindfolded and handcuffed detainees are crammed into a truck with barely any air. The beating of jailers' batons can be heard striking the iron sides, amidst screams of humiliation and forced chants of praise for Bashar al-Assad.
We were unable to determine the location and time of the video.
Detainees are well aware of this truck: it is a closed iron tomb with no seats and only narrow openings barely enough for them to breathe. Dozens of detainees are crammed into it while being transferred between security branches, and are left inside for long hours, sometimes for an entire day.
